	posted by Scott on Wednesday September 20, @09:26AM from the boys/young-men dept.

The study demonstrated a significant difference in self-esteem between African-Americans with and without fathers, but no such gap for black girls. And without father figures in their lives, many young black men turn to gangs for affirming their masculinity.
